Avoid these 8 obstacles to success

Posted by / October 26, 2013

Obstacles

It’s hard enough to be successful without any obstacles, and these eight are doozies. Interestingly, these obstacles are internal. For example:

Timidity

Every path to success begins with a great idea. There’s only one problem: Great ideas are a dime a dozen. What really matters when it comes to becoming a success is not having the idea but having the courage to transform that idea into reality. This usually means a risk of losing the security of a regular job and risking a steady paycheck. Only the brave ever overcome this first of the pitfalls.

Laziness

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be for naught unless you’re willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and (more important) the action steps you’ll take to pursue those goals. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office. Share it with others, so they’ll hold you accountable for delivering on your plan. Make yourself accountable and become the master of your destiny.
